Remarkable differences in selective breeding between Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout.
FISHBOOST reports regarding the current status of selective breeding of Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout in Europe have revealed some remarkable differences in the breeding industry. Atlantic salmon is produced in the Northern part of Europe and as an effect of a rather uniform production strategy, differences among breeding companies are relatively small. All seven breeding companies perform family selection and their combined market share in total European egg production is around 93‑97%. In contrast, trout is produced in a wide variety of systems for different markets throughout all of Europe. This diversity in production strategy is reflected by the large differences among breeding companies. Of the 15 breeding companies in Europe, 6 perform mass selection and the other 9 perform family selection. Their combined market share is around 65-68%.
